[EM] ebook: The Goat Spitting Secret

[Richard, the VoteFair guy]

I've written the following book to explain "ranked choice voting" to 
non-math-savvy voters:

"The Goat Spitting Secret:  This Comedy Unmasks Why Congress Is 
Dysfunctionally Nutty"

The title words "goat spitting" are a play on the words "vote splitting."

Although the book can be bought for any e-book reader, I want everyone 
to have the option to read it for free.  So here's a link to a free PDF 
version:

Importantly for you E-M forum participants, the dialog in Scene 5 
contains fresh analogies you might find useful for explaining 
vote-counting methods to non-math folks.

Important:  The target audience is young voters in their 20's, 30's, and 
40's.

The book is a comedy, written entirely as dialog.  There are nine 
fictional characters, including a member of Congress (in Scene 3), a 
math professor who explains (in Scene 5) the math behind vote counting, 
and the main character who flunked out of community college yet wants to 
understand how the worlds of business and politics work.  An economics 
professor explains (in Scene 6) why using a well-designed election 
system to elect state legislators -- or ideally members of Congress -- 
will yield widespread economic prosperity.

If you just want to criticize my vote-counting explanations, just read 
Scene 5, "Math Breakthrough."

I'm promoting this book to help convince Oregon voters to approve the 
November ballot measure that will adopt ranked choice voting for a few 
specific Oregon statewide elections, including electing Oregon's members 
of Congress.

Also I hope this book will help Alaska voters defeat the November ballot 
measure that would repeal ranked choice voting in Alaska.
